Weight Loss Diets
I have just started my new diet. Well it is not a weight loss diet in the technical term, it is just a plan for me to lose weight. I have not done any organized exercise in over a year and I need to get back on track.
I have read several weight loss diet plans over the years and I have not seen many that seem to have it all. My favorite so far has been the ABS diet because it seems to not focus on what you can’t eat but rather what you should eat.
My wife liked Weight Watchers but the overall program seems flawed to me. They change it so often that who can keep up. It also seems focused on secrets that you have to be willing to pay for to know them. I have read their forum and it seems that most of the people are so up and down that they never seem to lose long term. The plans we have tried seemed to be on the right track but the calories were cut way to low for most people. I can not speak for the newest plan but I tried the flex points system and was not impressed.
Atkins and South Beach weight loss diet seem to also be flawed because everyone I have known who have done these have lost some big weight. However, as soon as they stop the diet, they gain it all back.
Most other weight loss diets have some good points but are mostly made to sell books and products and not focused on the key point to lose weight. With these, I would lose some weight from my wallet being lighter.
The key component of any major weight loss diet is the fact that you should eat better and exercise. Eating whole foods and cutting out as much processed foods as possible is the key to long term weight loss. Eating small meals five to six times a day is also important.
Most people deep down knows what it takes to lose weight, spending your hard earn money on the next greatest weight loss diet is not the key. You can save that money and spend it on a gym membership or a piece of exercise equipment.
I will try to share everything I do to lose weight with you here on That Blozzz and it will only cost you a little time to read and the rest is free. I will keep you updated on my progress and what I did to get there. Hopefully in a few weeks my wife and I will be success stories.
